Privacy notice
Plain language, because that is the point of this site. Data controller: Jean Knapik (see about); contact for anything on this page: [email protected].
What we collect from you
Newsletter signups: your email address, when you gave it, and that it came from this site. Legal basis: your consent. Used for one thing — sending election reports — and never shared or used for anything else. Kept until you unsubscribe; every email includes a way to do so, and mailing [email protected] works too.
Contact form: your name (optional), email, and message are stored in our database (EU region) and a copy is emailed to us via Resend, our email provider (EU sending region), so we can reply. Same rule: used only to answer you.
Analytics: we use PostHog (EU-hosted) to understand how the site is used — pages viewed, clicks, and whether our forms work. By default this runs cookieless: no cookie is set and visits are not linked across sessions. If you accept cookies in the banner, analytics may set a cookie so repeat visits are recognized; if you reject, analytics stay anonymous — your choice itself is stored locally so we don't ask again. Form contents (your email, your message) are never sent to analytics.
Server logs: our hosting (Railway, EU region) and CDN (Cloudflare) keep standard short-lived request logs, including IP addresses, for security and operations.
Published data about political actors
Our reports name political advertisers — parties, candidates, funding entities — based on Meta's public Ad Library and our documented classification (see methodology). We publish this in the public interest: transparency of paid political communication around elections. If you are named and believe a figure or attribution is wrong, write to [email protected] — corrections are taken seriously and published.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask for access, correction, deletion, or export of your personal data, and withdraw consent at any time. Write to [email protected]. You may also complain to your data-protection authority (in France, the CNIL).
